A friend of mine is a proud Tea party supporter. He took exception to some comments that I made about the Tea Party, and referred me to a website that contained the Tea Party "mission statement". On paper, it looks well thought out and reasonable. But in practice, the Tea Party is dominated by the hard-core religious right, who distort the "mission statement" with utter foolishness, such as Todd Akin's rape comments.

1 Abortion is a special issue that cannot fit on most politial charts because there is in reality no middle ground. There is always a perception of wiggle room, but in reality either you support abotions or you dont. How you feel about them personally isnt really relevant on the issue. either they should be mostly available or they shouldnt. Parental consent, life of mother, rape and incest are all just regualtions after the fact. The vast majority of abortions dont fit in these areas. So when a person is mostly resonable and heir abortion issue doesnt fit you might still want to vote for this person.

2 Again Akin was trying to be smarter than he was. He clearly heard something about pregnancy being less likely during a rape and ran with it without actually knowing what he was talking about.

3 None of his is actually what the Tea Party is about. I would assume a large hunk of the Tea Party is pro-life. It isnt the point though. No one in the Tea Party wants congressmen to sign an abortion pledge, just a tax pledge.

The Tea Party scares the left because it its an issue they canot win. Less government. Less Taxes.
